Goal(s)

The overall purpose of the PBIS Toucan Store is to positively reinforce and celebrate student behaviors that align with the Leader in Me 8 Habits, fostering a school culture rooted in leadership, responsibility, and mutual respect while providing a tangible and engaging way for students to connect positive choices with meaningful rewards. This project addresses multiple needs by encouraging consistent demonstration of the 8 Habits through schoolwide recognition, increasing motivation and engagement by creating excitement and ownership in making good choices, supporting social-emotional growth through habits such as proactive decision-making, goal setting, and teamwork, and ensuring equity by allowing all students, regardless of academic level, opportunities to be recognized for their contributions. The learning goal of this project is for students to be able to identify, model, and reflect on the 8 Habits in both academic and social settings, understanding how these behaviors contribute to personal success and a positive school environment. As an academic outcome, reinforcing leadership habits through the Toucan Store reward system will promote increased self-management, collaboration, and responsibility, which directly support improved classroom participation, on-task behavior, and overall academic performance.

Project Description

This project meets the needs of students by providing an equitable and engaging way to acknowledge positive behavior, boosting motivation, reinforcing the 8 Habits, and supporting social-emotional learning while also creating opportunities for responsibility and goal-setting through the Toucan Store. At the classroom level, the program helps establish a positive learning climate by reducing disruptive behaviors, encouraging students to take ownership of their actions, and fostering stronger peer-to-peer and student-teacher relationships. At the schoolwide level, it strengthens our PBIS framework, promotes a consistent culture of respect and responsibility, and builds meaningful connections between students and staff through regular recognition and celebration of leadership behaviors. 

 

Expected Outcomes

Through the PBIS Toucan Store, students will show improved motivation to consistently demonstrate the Leader in Me 8 Habits, leading to positive changes in behavior, social-emotional growth, and academic engagement. By earning and redeeming Toucans, students will strengthen skills such as responsibility, self-regulation, leadership, and goal-setting, while also developing a stronger sense of belonging and connection to the school community. This project is expected to reduce disruptive behaviors, create a more positive classroom climate, and increase student participation and focus on learning.

These outcomes will be measured through both quantitative and qualitative data sources. Behavioral improvements will be tracked by monitoring office discipline referrals, classroom behavior incidents, and the number of Toucans earned and redeemed. Academic engagement will be measured through increased on-task behavior, participation, and attendance records, supported by teacher observations and walk-throughs. School climate and social-emotional growth will be evaluated using student and teacher surveys to capture perceptions of belonging, motivation, and demonstration of the 8 Habits. Together, these measures will provide evidence of how the Toucan Store strengthens our PBIS framework and contributes to a schoolwide culture of respect, responsibility, and leadership. 

 

Purpose of Funding

Through the PBIS Toucan Store, students will experience increased motivation to consistently demonstrate the Leader in Me 8 Habits, which will positively impact their behavior, social-emotional growth, and academic engagement. By earning and redeeming Toucans, students will strengthen skills in responsibility, self-regulation, leadership, and goal-setting while also building a stronger sense of belonging and connection to the school community. This project will reduce disruptive behaviors, promote a more positive classroom climate, and increase student participation and focus on learning. Success will be measured through a combination of behavioral data (such as reductions in office discipline referrals and increases in Toucan redemptions), academic and engagement indicators (including on-task behavior, participation, and attendance), and school climate data from both student and teacher surveys. Together, these outcomes will demonstrate how the Toucan Store enhances our PBIS framework and fosters a culture of leadership, respect, and achievement across the school.
